Over their careers Teddy has won nearly the same number of games--in less time--than Keenum has. "...horrible at best..." is Spurgeon Wynn, Josh Freeman--Teddy is not that.

I really hope they don't put all of their eggs in the Teddy basket.
My preference in QB, i in order, is Keenum, Bradford, Cousins, Bridgewater. Our window is now, and while none of them have ever done anything in the postseason, they have all showed more than teddy has, imo.

I hope they don’t either but I’m just not sure how you put Bradford above Cousins. Case I could see possibly but with Bradford’s injury concerns I would never trust him. Is he good when healthy? Yeah but we are in this to win a SB. Could he? Yeah possibly skill wise but you don’t know if he can ever stay healthy. Cousins has been consistent and healthy. I’m sick of having mediocre QBs or having seasons where our QB is out half the year. Cousins solves that problem

After years of subpar coaching we finally have a coach that I believe in and I would be very disappointed if he left for any reason, including being fired.

I heard the PA interview live and my take is that he is more comfortable and open now because he is more established. Only a coach secure in their position can casually reference the possibility of being fired. I agree with others, he realizes the consequences of this decision and this is the way he acknowledges it.

Well that would be true, but could we blame Zim for a situation like that? I would think the GM would hold most of the burden. A coach has to play with what he has. I know Zim has a say, but right now we do not have a QB. But I get it coaches on the hot seat for not winning when the opportunity is there. The window is closing for us, weve only got a couple of years left with this team then it starts over again.

Even if we do get Cousins we will still need to somehow improve the OL.

I'd argue upgrading the OL is even more important if the Vikings land Cousins. Keenum is better at evading pressure and extending plays. Contrary to popular belief, Keenum had less time to throw than Cousins in 2017.
